Default On Sharing airspace with "non-rated UAV "pilots"



I would think that most of these will be flying in areas with lots of
sand and an occasional camel.

I would hope that the AF has enough foresight to provide appropriate
training for UAV only pilots that will fly in the civil airspace.


UAVs or more correctly UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) are flying right now
and outside of restricted airspace.
Just check all the NOTAMS for flying around Southern California for UAS
flying.

Border Patrol is flying a lot of UAS along the AZ/NM border with Mexico and
also starting along the ND Canadian border out of Grand Forks AFB ND.
